Summary of consultation responses report
The consultation feedback suggests respondents were largely supportive of the project’s objectives and approaches but a number of important issues were also raised. There was particular support for woodland planting and wetland creation, as well as other natural flood management measures. There was less support for approaches involving hard engineering such as permanent and temporary flood barriers and flood relief channels. The most frequent concerns raised in the consultation were around development on floodplains and sewage treatment issues.
